STATEWIDE - Beginning in mid-October, new applicants for unemployment insurance will have to register online through the Job Center of Wisconsin. Years ago, the federal government began pushing states to make the newly unemployed file for benefits online. John Fandrich, a deputy secretary for Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development, said the state is coming into compliance. Fandrich said the new regulation takes place on Oct. 13. “It is a regulation that’s been out there for some time, probably since the mid ’90s,” he said. “We’ve just never actively enforced it because we just wanted to make sure we had all the technology in place, the staff trained to make sure that we could have this be a positive and seamless process.” Fandrich said the state hasn’t been penalized for failing to implement the online requirement. People who have lost jobs have been able to apply for benefits over the phone. But Fandrich said they will now have to log on to the Job Center’s website. Once there, they will also be asked a series of questions to help build a resumé which potential employers will have access to. “What this technology will allow us (to do) … is for them to be matched up with an employer sooner,” said Fandrich. The state Legislature recently passed a law requiring people on unemployment to apply for four jobs each week rather than the previous two jobs per week. - Patty Murray/Wisconsin Public Radio

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - “Some collection times have been adjusted to align with our transportation and mail processing operating windows to ensure we continue to meet our service standards,” wrote Pete Nowacki, United States Postal Service representative, in an email. Since 2012, the Eau Claire sorting facility has been on a list of 162 Postal Service facilities across the nation slated for consolidation. When

fully implemented in late 2014, the Postal Service expects its network consolidations to generate approximately $2 billion in annual cost reductions, and lead to total workforce reduction of up to 28,000 employees. For area businesses, the cutbacks mean possible delays in service for customers and new mail deadlines for businesses. Delores Zaloudek, assistant operations offi-

Oktoberfest and Haunted Schoolhouse returning to Shell Lake Arts Center SHELL LAKE — After rave reviews, two fall events will be returning to the Shell Lake Arts Center this fall. All are welcome to attend Oktoberfest and the Haunted Schoolhouse. Oktoberfest, taking place on Saturday, Oct. 5, features food and beverage tasting along with music performed by Three Rivers Polka Band, based out of River Falls, and the popular rock band Stormy Monday. Free tastings take place throughout the evening. Guests can take a chance at many raffle items donated by local merchants and artists. The event takes place at the Shell Lake Arts Center’s Darrell Aderman Auditorium; 802 First St. in Shell Lake, from 6-11 p.m. The Shell Lake Arts Center and the Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring Oktoberfest. The third-annual Haunted Schoolhouse will terrify visitors at the Shell Lake Arts Center on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 and 26, from 6-10 p.m. What happens to the students and teachers when an old high school shuts down? They stay there, of course, and haunt the victims who dare to enter. Guests looking for a less scary adventure are welcome from 6-8 p.m. for the not-so-scary trip through the Haunted Schoolhouse.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SPOONER - “The students are grateful and we are grateful,” said Jody Peck, fourth-grade teacher at Spooner Elementary School. The Spooner School District’s one-to-one-technology project that was approved by the board of education in July has hit the ground running. Every student in grades three, four, seven and eight are outfitted with one of

trators have recently recognized several benefits that were originally overlooked. “I do think that the children are really motivated to stay in class and to participate,” stated Lynnea Lake, Spooner Middle School principal. Other benefits teachers have pinpointed include decreased negative behaviors, increased creativity, improved self-confidence and improved learning through ease of access. “It is giving them a really cool opportunity to be leaders,” said Peck, who thinks the best thing about the devices is how their self-esteem is boosted through inclass activities that they all enjoy. “They are just so excited about learning

and getting to share their creativity ... as a teacher that is just such a gift,” she acknowledged. Through the use of specialized applications and Web-based educational programs, students have already begun to recognize the benefits involved with the new technology. “They are like portable computers, and faster,” said Logan Hendricks, a student in Charles Rohlik’s middle school science class. From math quizzes, creating presentations on science lab findings, and designing space-time capsules, it is obvious that learning, having fun and being creative is happening in Spooner School District classrooms.

Wisconsin Music & Memory Initiative under way

Both Spooner and Shell Lake School Districts achieved a “meets expectations” rating for the 2012-13 district report card. – Graphic from WDPI by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE – Sixty-three percent of Wisconsin school districts achieved an accountability rating of “meets expectations” on the Department of Public Instruction’s school district report cards. Both Shell Lake and Spooner School Districts achieved this standard with ratings of “meets expectations.” Unlike the school report cards, district report cards reflect data for the district as a whole and with scores calculated out of 100. Data used in district report cards are based on the same tests as the school report cards. These tests are the Wisconsin Student Assessment System, the Wisconsin Alternate Assessment for Students with Disabilities, and the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination. As a district, Shell Lake Schools is ahead of state scores in the priority areas of student achievement and on-track and postsecondary readiness. The school achieved a score of 87 in on-track and postsecondary readiness and 67.1 in student achievement. According to Jim Connell, superintendent at Shell Lake, the overall score is important but not as important as subscores. “One of our goals is to increase our closing the gaps score on the district report card by 2 percent in 2013-14,” stated Connell. Closing gaps provide a measure that corresponds to the statewide goal of having all students improve while narrowing the achievement and graduation gaps that often separate different groups of students,

like those that are economically disadvantaged. Spooner School District’s scores are above the state’s in all the priority areas, achieving the highest score in the priority area of on-track and postsecondary readiness at 86.2. The other priority areas of student achievement, student growth, closing gaps, and on-track and postsecondary readiness scores are all very close at 62.7, 60.4, and 62.2. Dr. Donald Haack, superintendent at Spooner Schools, explained that the district report card does give some useful information about how a school or district is doing well, but pointed out that “it is only one measure and may not be indicative of the overall programs or quality of education that are offered in the district.” Both districts use the information from these report cards to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the school district. “We have multiple measures at all levels that tell us more about individual student achievement, and we use all of the available information to make decisions about how to best teach our children,” explained Haack. Besides DPI report card data, Spooner uses the assessments such as WKCE, STAR math and reading, ACT Explore and PLAN, Fountas and Pinnell and DIBELS assessments along with information from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. In addition, attendance, graduation data and individual teacher recommendations are influential to educational decision making.

by Danielle Moe Register staff writer SHELL LAKE - Terraceview Living Center in Shell Lake was recently selected as one of 230 nursing homes to be part of the Wisconsin Music & Memory Initiative. “I think it is just an awesome opportunity for our facility as well as our residents,” said Bonnie Kurtz, Terraceview’s activity coordinator. In its first year, the initiative is a Department of Health Services program that is supporting 100 nursing homes in Wisconsin to bring joy to residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related disorders. At Terraceview, 15 residents who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other dementias will experience this new program that uses personalized music during daily activities to help stimulate participation. “Say a person has a problem before bedtime, we would put their music on for them, and we are hoping that this would help people through their problem behavior areas,” explained Kurtz. The DHS anticipates many benefits for individuals in the program, including reducing agitation and enhancing engagement with family, friends, staff and the community. It also offers an enjoyable,

fulfilling activity for people on dialysis, a ventilator or who are bed-bound. “I think they are trying to get a handle on this because medication should not be the answer,” stated Kurtz. The program involves no monetary investment from participating facilities, except for the time commitment to fully participate in the certification process and the research component. To become a Certified Music and Memory Care facility, program leads will participate in three 90-minute training sessions created by Dan Cohen, founder of the program. “Hopefully after we get through some of our training sessions we will train some of our staff,” said Kurtz. According to the DHS, the unique $180,000 program is funded through civil money penalty funds and matching dollars. CMPs are punitive fines imposed by a civil court on an entity that has profited from illegal or unethical activity. After certification, Terraceview will receive 15 iPod Shuffles with additional equipment and technical assistance at a monetary value of $2,000. “I think it is an awesome program that we have been selected into,” said Kurtz.

Support for rescuers by Danielle Moe Register staff writer TOWN OF GORDON - Two Burnett County fire departments (Grantsburg and Jackson) have offered up fire trucks for the Gordon Fire Department to use in the aftermath of the Gordon Fire Hall and all of the trucks and equipment burning to the ground last Thursday, Sept. 19. The Gordon Volunteer Fire Department battled a fire that consumed their own fire hall. Everything in the hall was lost including two fire engines, two tenders, two brush trucks and the personal protection gear for about 15 firefighters. Jackson Fire Chief Dan Campion estimates the damage at $1 million, with a better estimate awaiting insurance adjustors. Besides three loaner fire trucks, the department has received equipment, tools and hoses from Douglas County Emergency Management, the state of Wisconsin and other sources.

Grantsburg and Jackson fire departments in Burnett County offered donations of fire trucks to Gordon Fire Department after a fire that destroyed the department’s fire hall.

New deadline/from page 1 cer for Shell Lake State Bank, explained that changing the daily mail deadline from 4:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. has caused some scramble. The new 2:30 p.m. deadline limits how much mail bank employees can get out in one day, causing a day’s delay for any mail that doesn’t make the 2:30 p.m. deadline. “Some of our customers are not getting

notified until a day later,” acknowledged Zaloudek. Rick Malecha, advertising manager for the Inter-County Cooperative Publishing Association, publishers of the Washburn County Register, Inter-County Leader and the Advertisers, explained that the earlier pickup deadlines has forced the company to move up production dead-

lines. “Earlier copy and news deadline are forcing everyone to get everything ready in less time than before,” he said. “The Eau Claire Processing and Distribution Facility has not closed,” stated Nowacki. He said only the operation of postmarking and original sortation of letters from ZIP code areas 547 and 548

have been moved from Eau Claire to the St. Paul processing and distribution center in Eagan, Minn. Retail hours and delivery services will not change, but USPS customers will have to. “Customers will need to make note of the changes in collection times,” stated Nowacki.

Need gun laws There is a no-brainer that we can do about tragedies like the recent Navy Yard shooting.

Could we make some laws which will automatically remove guns from people who have demonstrated gun dangerousness? Please?

Educational opportunities

tudents have been back at school for a few weeks now. Some are in a classroom for the first time as a pre-K student, some are in elementary, middle, high school or are attending college. With today’s technology, classes for some are not using the traditional methods. Many students take online classes to obtain a degree. Some school districts in our country offer charter schools. What is a charter school; you may ask? Charter schools are independent public schools that are accountable to the same academic standards and receive the same funding as other public schools. Charter schools are allowed more freedom to innovate curriculum than traditional public schools. In a recent edition of American Profile, the story on a school in Walton, Kan., had this headline: Reading, Writing and Farming – Kansas town saves school with agriculture focus. In 2006, Newton School District officials considered closing Walter Elementary because enrollment had declined to 100 students. To save the school, John Morton, former superintendent, proposed focusing on hands-on learning in agriculture and applying for charter school status. Rather than using textbooks to envision the size of an acre, students measured an acre at the nearby corn and soybean farm. Working schools aren’t a new concept. While visiting Missouri in August, I had lunch at College of the Ozarks, known as Hard Work U®. Incorporated in 1906 as The School of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, the school became a junior college in 1956 and a four-year program in 1965. The campus is home to 1,400 students who do a work-study program, rather than pay, for a liberal arts education. Full-time students work at one of 80 campus jobs or industries to pay in part for his or her cost of education. The remaining portion of the students’ expenses are made up through scholarships. In the Keeter Center, in addition to where our group had lunch prepared and served by students, there is a lodge, gift shop, bakery, ice-cream stand and conference center. The greenhouse on the campus has more than 7,000 orchids and houseplants for sale. Students grind whole-grain meal and flour for purchase at Edwards Mill, which is powered by a 12-foot water wheel turned by runoff water from nearby Lake Honor. Upstairs, in a weaving studio, students design and produce rugs, shawls, place mats and other items on traditional looms. The students also hand weave baskets.

Suzanne Johnson is shown in front of the Keeter Center that offers overnight lodging for guests on the College of the Ozarks campus in Missouri. — Photo by Milton Johnson During our self-guided tour of the campus, we stopped at the fruitcake and jelly kitchen. Since 1934, College of the Ozarks has produced fruitcakes on campus and sells them throughout the country. They bake nearly 30,000 cakes a year. In their kitchen they also make a variety of jellies and apple butter. In addition to seeing students walking on the campus, we also saw cows grazing in the field next to where the milking parlor is located. The milk is used to make the ice cream that is sold in Keeter Center. The campus is pretty much

self-sufficient as it has its own fire department, too. In the learning process, some students do well with hands-on rather than just textbooks. In the past few years, our local schools have been providing students the opportunity to see where food comes from and how it is harvested by offering school gardens. Students are able to eat foods that they have seen go from seeds being planted in the soil to the vegetables being harvested. No matter which educational opportunity a student takes, this quote by Benjamin Franklin still applies. “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

that she discovered her hours were eligible for compensation through the Senior Tax Exchange Program. STEP gives seniors an opportunity to share their talents, skills and interests with area children through volunteerism in their schools. In return for their volunteer hours, seniors receive a tax credit on their school property tax bill. “That really helped me out, because when you do not have two incomes coming in, you have to be more careful,” acknowledged Kirkwood. This year Kirkwood is assigned to Mrs. Macone’s first grade class. She assists Macone Monday and Friday mornings with students in assorted activities from one-on-one to group settings. “I think most children can learn a large amount of things if they are worked with a little bit more … and a lot of kids do not have that opportunity,” she said. At 77, Kirkwood recognizes her volunteering activities as her way of staying active, and giving back to the future community. Besides volunteering with the school she is also very active in her church. “I make baby and health kits through the church, and pillowcase dresses,” she said, her eyes lighting up.

That announcement came just months after a settlement was made with a female state employee who said she had been sexually harassed by him in the work setting for several years. The woman’s attorney said that the woman reported she was “subjected to offensive sexual comments from Babbitt. It was reported to the director of state courts by a co-worker. Pending an investigation, the employee was involuntarily transferred. She settled her claims with the state for $10,000 ($3,000 of it for attorney’s fees) and nonmonetary terms and conditions.” Babbitt’s announcement came two weeks after newly appointed Judge Michael Bitney took over for retiring Judge Timothy Doyle. — from the Rice Lake Chronotype

Congressman Duffy visits with electric cooperative employees and directors BARRON — U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy visited with Barron Electric and Polk-Burnett employees and directors regarding electric cooperatives and legislative issues that may have an impact on electric rates. Barron Electric’s General Manager Dallas Sloan thanked Duffy for his support of H.R. 2273 and voting for coal ash as a nonhazardous waste. Dairyland Power Cooperative, Barron Electric’s wholesale power provider, recycles approximately 90 percent of its coal ash, depending on market conditions, in concrete and other materials. Robert Thorsbakken, board director at Polk-Burnett, discussed the challenges of the Clean Air Act and the impact this could have on electric rates. Sloan emphasized that nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter emissions have declined drastically from 1980 to 2000. He said, “Millions of dollars are spent today, but results in little benefit.” Bill Schmidt, general manager at Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative, said, “Polk Burnett and the USDA recently awarded a $360,000 loan to the Grantsburg Fire Department, which helps spur

future economic development.” Sloan also thanked Duffy for his support of the Department of Energy’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding largecapacity electric water heaters capable of being used in demand response and thermal storage programs. Sloan said, “This allows Barron Electric to continue to promote large water heaters, which play an important role in our load management program.” Lineman Dan Ripplinger asked Duffy when a farm bill would get passed. “Cooperatives in the 7th District primarily serve rural areas, which makes the Farm Bill important,” stressed Ripplinger. Duffy explained that he is hoping they can come to a consensus about the Farm Bill and pass one that meets the needs of his constituents. He said, “I know how important a Farm Bill is to Wisconsin; that’s why I have supported and worked for the progress we have made so far, we need a Farm Bill.” Lineman Steve Root asked about nuclear waste and Yucca Mountain. In August, a federal court directed the gov-

Jody Schlapper, (second from left), Barron Electric’s customer service representative, asked Congressman Sean Duffy about protecting a family’s retirement from capital gains.

State patrol warns of phone scam Caller asks for money to pay for repairs after traffic crash

SPOONER — Wisconsin State Patrol officials are warning about a phone scam in which a caller identifies himself as a sergeant from the state patrol Green Bay office and asks for money to resolve a car crash involving a relative of the person called. The state patrol has received information that people on at least two occasions were called by a man who identified himself as “Sgt. Walker of the state patrol office in Green Bay.” The fake sergeant asked for $900 to pay for damages caused by the person’s child or grandchild in a crash. The fake sergeant said the money, which needed to be wired immediately,

would fix the damages so the other driver would not press charges. “The phone message is a scam, and the state patrol under no circumstances would contact anyone with such a request for money,” says Maj. Brian Rahn, director of the Bureau of Field Operations. “If you receive a scam phone call like this, please notify the State Patrol Northeast Region, Fond du Lac Post at 920-929-3700.” The state patrol has investigated the calls, and the scam likely originated in Montreal, Canada. More information about this type of scam is available online from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection at datcp.wi.gov/ uploads/Consumer/pdf/SeniorsGrandparentsScam464.pdf. — from WSP

Spooner’s winning streak comes to an end

by Larry Samson Register staff writer SPOONER — The Spooner Rails saw the end of their three-game winning srreak when they faced the Chetek/Weyerhaeuser Bulldogs last weekend. The Bulldogs started the Friday, Sept. 20, Heart O’ North Conference game by receiving the ball. The Spooner defense held, forcing them to turn the ball over on downs. Spooner took the ball and marched down field and scored when quarterback Gavin Anderson connected to Matt Slaminski on a 26-yard touchdown pass. JT Gunderson’s kick was good and Spooner took a 7-0 lead early in the game. The Spooner defense protected the narrow lead by holding tough against a potent offense. Spooner defender Becker Linder stopped the Bulldogs on the 15-yard line when he recovered a fumble. In the second quarter C/W took the lead after an interception put the ball on the Spooner 10-yard line. Later in the second quarter, Spooner defender Drew Miller intercepted a Bulldog pass. Coming out in the second half, it was all Chetek/Weyerhaeuser when they scored on their first series of the game. The Bulldogs went for the two-point conversion and the Spooner defense stopped them.

Area writers corner Romance and fiction are wed by Mary B. Olsen “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” wrote William Shakespeare, for the sweet young girl to ask in the greatest play about love in Western civilization. The Bard of Avon had this fantastic sense of the dramatic. He was writing the play about unrequited love and rivalry between families in Italy. He was writing for an English audience. He could not have made the families British. The passionate families added to the drama. The Italians dance and shout and show their love in demonstrative ways. The typical reserved Englishmen and women who attended the theater found it exciting but, of course, they would not act like these strange characters. Those crazy Italians! We say love makes the world go ‘round. It didn’t work out too well for the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. They both died in the end of the play. It makes you wonder; suppose they had not died. If they had eloped successfully, what would their lives have been like? Would they have abandoned their families? Would their lives have been like the Hatfields and the McCoys? I like to think they would have weathered the storms. Possibly they would have reconciled after their first child was introduced to the grandmothers and grandfathers. That might happen in real life, but in fiction they end up choosing death over no living with each other. Together forever in literature. When we talk about romance, when we are young, we

think of it as true, as in true love. The actual life lesson is different. Fiction and romance is the same thing in disguise. This is not to say we should not believe in either and certainly not true love. I see true love everywhere I look and have most of my life believed in it. When you see couples celebrating many years of marriage, you are seeing true love. This does not mean the two married people never have arguments or any kind of disagreements, but it shows they have found ways to handle them. It is possible that a few minutes talking with a successfully married couple would be as beneficial as the same time spent with a professional counselor. Suppose you could talk with Romeo and Juliet as a kind of counselor. Maybe you could advise Juliet to consider waiting a couple of years to think of marriage. Conditions could change. Maybe the families would reconcile. Maybe she would be able to make a more mature decision if she were older. She could keep her Romeo as a potential suitor among the other eligible young men. The counselor would have made no difference. The play is fiction in dramatic form. It is designed to play on your emotions. Young lovers can find true love, in real life, and that is not fiction. They must look for examples among their acquaintances and try to emulate them. Your ordinary young American male knows about the idea of true love. He does not look for it. The ordinary young American female knows about true love and looks for it. At least that’s the way I see it. Males have what I call a gung-ho attitude toward love.

The Chinese communists used this term for “working together” but they did not use it as a slogan. Back in 1942, the U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Marine Raider Battalion began using the term gung-ho and it was the title of a film named “Gung-Ho!” made in 1943. Years later there was the term “solidarity” used by Lech Walesa, in Poland at the Gdansk Shipyard, meaning joining forces. It came into use in American English, meaning enthusiastic or dedicated. We think of it more as put everything you’ve got into it. Go for broke! Sort of like gambling and reaching for the brass ring. It means, of course, the male with the gung-ho attitude can promise the female anything and everything. The female sometimes falls for it. The truth is boys chase girls and sometimes catch them. If she is looking for true love, it may happen. Anything is possible. Where does one find true love? Probably not in fiction. Love often ends in tragedy. In real life? Hopefully.

True Love True love is our aim It’s the name of the game. Look for it far away. Look for it where you may. Finding it is very hard. Look for it in your own backyard.

It’s starting to pay off to be over 65

by Diane Dryden Register staff writer SPOONER — Hooray, you’ve hit the “golden years” and it really has its advantages. There’s senior coffee at McDonald’s, a discount card at Culver’s, AARP discounts for everything, and it’s been a four-year wait, but the national Silver Sneakers program is finally ready to launch in Spooner. If you haven’t already heard about this free program, here’s the information you need to get started. Because physical activity plays a critical role in aging to combat diseases like diabetes, colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, COPD, obesity, dementia and heart conditions, a national program has been developed and has been implemented by many insurance companies to address staying healthy versus being sick. The conclusions seem to be that it’s cheaper to keep someone healthy than to pay the exorbitant medical bills that come from even the simplest medical procedures. It’s a bit sad that it took the insurance companies to figure that out. Now that they have, disabled Americans and Americans over 65 may qualify for free gym time and special classes tailored just to their needs. The Body Shop Fitness Center in Spooner, located on Hwy. 63 north of town next to Larsen’s Auto, is the only local provider of the program. They emphasize that just because someone is an avid gardener or biker or bowler, it doesn’t mean that those activities are muscle building; they’re more like muscle fatiguing. The Silver Sneakers program was developed to address the entire body

The national Silver Sneaker program has finally come to Spooner. — Photo by Diane Dryden through exercise that often results in fewer visits to the doctor or medical procedures and drugs. It also increases muscular strength and range of movement, which results in flexibility, better posture and overall strength. There will not only be two scheduled classes a week, but by becoming a national Silver Sneaker member of the Body Shop, the entire facility is at your disposal. “We want to help keep active people active, and we want to start getting others active, often starting with the basic low-impact workouts that can be done in a chair. Exercise

is important to help maintain balance which prevents falling, and it also strengthens the whole body, helping with prevention maintenance,” stated a staff member. The shop has the right staff and environment. The equipment is easy to use because there are pictures posted on each machine in case you forget exactly how to use it. The beauty of this program starts with a call to your insurance provider to see if they carry the program, and then, after a modest fee to activate your membership and to get a 24/7 key card, you can show up anytime to put in some my-health-and-me time. If you’d care to advance in your pursuit of getting healthy, all the regular classes like yoga, Pilates, Zumba and kettle bells are open and free to all members whether they are on the Silver Sneakers program or regular paid members. There will be an open house on Saturday, Oct. 2, from 5-8 p.m., at the Body Shop. Everyone is invited to check out the facility, the staff and the equipment, and also to try some of the gourmet hors d’oeuvres as well as getting class information. Call today to see if your insurance company covers the program like AARP, Humana, U-Care, or United Health Care does. Or stop by the Body Shop Monday through Friday between 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. when the staff is available. For more information directly from the national Silver Sneakers Fitness Program, either call 888423-4632, pressing option 2, or call the Body Shop at 715939-1163.

Breaking new ground? USDA’s Farm Service Agency provides cautionary reminders for Wisconsin farmers SPOONER — Brad Pfaff, state executive director for Wisconsin’s Farm Service Agency, encourages agricultural producers to consult with FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service before breaking out new ground for production. Without prior authorization, a producer’s federal farm program benefits may be in jeopardy. While communication with USDA prior to the clearing or converting of land is recommended, it is especially true for ground that is considered highly erodible or is considered a wetland. Producers participating in federal farm programs and any person or entity considered to be an affiliated person of the producer, are subject to regulations pertaining to ground having HEL or wetland determinations. “Before heading out with a bulldozer or backhoe to clear a fence line or hiring a contractor to drain or fill in a field’s wet areas, it is extremely important that you have consulted with our staff to ensure these acres are not considered highly erodible or wetland acres,” said Pfaff. “I assure you, the time spent working with our staff

to make sure your plans won’t impact potentially fragile lands before you head to the field, will be time well spent.” USDA enacted Highly Erodible and Wetland Conservation Provisions in 1985 to reduce soil loss; reduce sedimentation and improve water quality; preserve the nation’s wetland; protect the nation’s long-term capacity to produce food and fiber; and remove incentive for people to produce agricultural commodities on highly erodible land or converted wetlands. USDA defines highly erodible land as cropland, hayland or pasture that can erode at excessive rates. These lands contain soils that have an erodibility index of eight or more. And, a wetland has a predominance of wet soils types, is inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support water tolerant vegetation and, under normal circumstances, supports a prevalence of such vegetation. According to FSA policy, to be in compliance with the highly erodible land and wetland conservation provisions, producers must agree, by certifying on FSA’s Form AD-1026, that they will not: • Produce an agricultural commodity on highly erodible land without a conservation system; • Plant an agricultural commodity on a converted wetland; • Convert a wetland to make possible the production

of an agricultural commodity. Any planned deviation to the agreement having the potential to convert HEL or wetland acreage or even land that may not yet have HEL or wetland determinations requires that producers update the Form AD-1026. FSA will notify NRCS and NRCS will then provide highly erodible land or wetland technical determinations on the acreage in question. Pfaff warns that producers participating in FSA and NRCS programs who are not in compliance with highly erodible land or wetland conservation compliance provisions are not eligible to receive benefits for most programs administered by both agencies. Further, if a producer has received program benefits and is later found to be noncomplaint, he/she would be required to refund all payments received and may be assessed liquidated damages. “I recognize that between completion of the harvest and planning for the 2014 planting season, producers can get busy, however, I cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring that all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed before converting land for production – this includes former Conservation Reserve Program ground,” said Pfaff. “To be safe, and when in doubt, come by your local FSA or NRCS office and you’ll leave with peace of mind knowing that your eligibility for farm program benefits is not at risk.” — from FSA

Her sister is Dorothy Snyder of Sheboygan that once owned the hardware store in Spooner. Sis was 89. She and her husband built and operated Northshore Resort in Rice Lake for many years. Services were Thursday in Rice Lake. Wednesday about a dozen of us from the Spooner Class of 1950 ate together at Tracks in Spooner. Dorothy Esser and son Michael stopped by and visited me on their way home from Rice Lake on Monday evening. John and Mary Marschall’s kids are hosting a 25th wedding party for their folks. See the ad in this week’s Register. Come help them celebrate.

Hunt Hill’s harvest dinner is Saturday, Sept. 28. It was nice to see the Green boys, Ron and Kenny and wife Phyllis, at Marcella Shoquist’s funeral. At one time years back, they stayed with Matt and Ethel Huerth here in Sarona before going to live with Frank and Marcella.

by Pauline Lawrence Happy anniversary to Steve and Jody Knoop on Oct. 1. Have a wonderful day you two. Happy birthday to Dave Toll on Oct. 2 with lots more to come. Diane Hulleman joined Jack and Ginny Schnell, Mike and Nancy Murray and Jackie Perlt for a get-together. My son Richy’s turkey sheds are full now. Yes, new 7-week-old turkeys came this past week. It’s onward to big turkeys. A wedding shower will be held for Drew Knoop and Jenna Haack at the Lakeview Methodist Church put on by Katie Kinde and Karen Vanderhoof. Talking with Karen Vanderhoof, she was busy canning tomatoes and during the week she made grape jelly. She tells us this week that Lundeens will be coming to their farm to spread those great nutrients on their fields. Karen says they’ve been at their farm for 35 years now. Talking with Evelyn Melton, she tells us their daughter, Vicki Trott, was over on Sunday playing cards with Cecil and Evelyn. I talked to June Wickman and she told me she is being treated for West Nile virus. She also shared that she worked 41 years for the Shell Lake hospital. That terrible shooting at the Washington Naval Yard was really a tragedy, leaving 12 people plus the shooter dead. Our sympathy to the families. Diane Hulleman volunteered at the free clinic at Lakeview Medical Center. Later she went shopping. Jack and Ginny Schnell were in Oregon for Jack to attend a meeting with Ginny going along. Ginny had surgery on her thumb so she couldn’t work at Lakeview Medical Center. This past week, Jim Toll tells us about 10 of the kids

he graduated with got together at the Lakeview Bar and Grill for supper. This was an in-between gathering before they have the next class reunion. Jim said he really enjoyed it. During the week, Janet Hoar, from Colorado, came along with her brother, Dale Livingston, and they enjoyed a good visit with Jim and Tam Toll. Dave Toll was up for the weekend finishing up the fence he was building. Next weekend Dave gets his Angus heifers. These are already bred. An exciting time for Dave. At the Glen and Lorraine Crosby and visiting other relatives were Linda and Gordon Snyder of Florida. Linda is a niece of Glen’s. Also visiting the Snyders at the Crosbys were Garry and Beth Crosby, Kathy Spears, and Gene and Donna Crosby. All enjoyed lunch together. The Snyders also visited Beatrice Lee who is in the nursing home at Luck. Talking with Ann Johnson, we find she got this terrible cold that is making the rounds. You know a person puts on a light jacket at this time and working, he takes it off and gets cold. At Garry and Beth Crosbys was Ann Klugow who is the daughter of the late Herman and Lorraine Crosby. She came to visit and also to see the Snyders. Saturday, Beth Crosby had a crew at their home for dinner. Attending were the Snyders, Glen and Lorraine Crosby, Sunshine Crosby, Isaac, Josie and Alycia, Katie and her mom, Melissa, Gene and Donna Crosby and Tim and JoAnn Bauer. All enjoyed a wonderful time along with great food. Saturday Beth took care of Tom and Sunshine’s kids, Isaac, Josie and Alycia. Scatter sunshine. Have a great week.

young boy asked his father, “Dad, don’t they ever give showers for the groom?” “No, son,” he replied. “There will be plenty of showers for him after his bride begins to reign!” What an introduction to marriage and the family! It would seem as though the father was describing his life and disappointments. All of us want our homes to be a little bit of heaven on earth. But there are always the realities of life. Problems seem to invade every home at the worst possible time and with great intensity. But God established the home, and he would have it to be a harbor in the time of storms and a refuge in the days of distress. If parents would assume their rightful places and follow the teachings of his word, how different things would be. If prayer was practiced, Scriptures read and worship at the heart of family life, the storms of life could be endured and the family strengthened. If we want our homes to be what God wants them to be, we must pray: “Here’s our family, live with us; here’s our home, be the Lord of it.” Visit us at: SowerMinistries.org

Preventing falls one step at a time

MADISON — Falls are the leading cause of accidental injury and death among Wisconsin’s older adults. In fact, it’s estimated that every hour in Wisconsin at least four older adults fall and require medical attention in an emergency department or hospital. September is National Falls Prevention Awareness Month. “Anyone with a family member who is advanced in age worries constantly about them taking a fall and becoming injured, or falling and lying helpless, unable to call for help,” said Department of Health Services Secretary Kitty Rhoades. “Fortunately, there are many preventive measures that seniors can take to keep safe.” Some of the strategies that can help older adults reduce the risk of falling include: • Engaging in physical activity, including balance, strength training and flexibility. • Getting a falls risk assessment from a health-care provider • Having a pharmacist periodically review medications • An annual eye exam • Ensuring that the home and community environments are safe and supportive. Fall-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits for Wisconsin residents 65 years old and older result in more than $500 million in annual health-care costs, most of which is paid for by Medicare. Communitybased programs combined with public health and private health-care practices can reduce the likelihood of falls. For information about community-based fall prevention programs and a listing of programs available in your area, visit the website of the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging at wihealthyaging.org or call Trisha Bailkey at your local Aging and Disability Resource Center for Barron, Rusk and Washburn counties at 888-538-3031. — from ADRC

JoAnn Martin

JoAnn Martin, 43, Somerset, N.J., formerly of Spooner, passed away Sept. 12, 2013, at Peggy Coloney’s Center for Hope Hospice and Palliative Care facility in Scotch Plains, N.J. She was born in St. Paul, Minn., and resided in Wisconsin for virtually her entire life before relocating to Somerset, N.J., last year. JoAnn grew up in Reeve, near Clear Lake, and graduated valedictorian from Clear Lake High School, Class of 1988. In 1993, JoAnn earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in teaching from UWSuperior. JoAnn’s true passion in life was teaching, and she began her career at Blue Earth High School in Blue Earth, Minn., for one year. From 1995 to 2000, she taught English for Spooner High School. In 1999, she earned her Master of Arts degree, also in English. From 2000 to 2006, she taught English for Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake. In 2005, while teaching at WITC, JoAnn earned the National Institute for Staff & Organizational Development Award for Teaching Excellence, an award honoring teaching and leadership excellence in institutions of higher education. JoAnn’s passion was teaching real-life communication skills to adult learners and students of English as a second language. Most recently, she worked at INT Technologies before her medical retirement to courageously battle ovarian cancer. Ever the teacher, JoAnn’s legacy lives on as she shares her cancer journey in a public video (youtube.com), explaining the symptoms of ovarian cancer and why research and early detection are key. In 1999, JoAnn met the love of her life, Andrew Licata, and they married in 2000. While JoAnn and Andrew did not have children, JoAnn loved and guided hundreds of teenagers through her teaching and advising. In 2006, JoAnn and Andrew purchased two businesses in Spooner, Kegler’s Pub & Pin and Black Iris Gallery and Frame Shop. They enjoyed youth bowling leagues the most and gave away thousands of lanes of bowling for kids with top grades. JoAnn’s legacy in the Spooner arts scene lives on in many ways, in the hundreds of pieces

of art she meticulously framed, to the many art shows she hosted, and in the enduring arts section, The Gallery, in the Spooner Advocate, begun a few years ago when JoAnn pointed out the need for arts information in her local newspaper. In 2012, they sold their businesses and moved to New Jersey where her husband grew up. JoAnn’s ability to teach, influence and touch people with her knowledge and warm spirit was remarkable, and she made loyal friends wherever she lived. JoAnn willingly shared her cancer journey, her organic, vegan cooking recipes and chemical-free lifestyle with everyone she met. JoAnn was an active member of Grace Episcopal Church in Rice Lake. JoAnn enjoyed reading classic and modern literature, hiking, biking, scuba diving and traveling, both domestically and abroad. JoAnn especially enjoyed spending time with beloved family and friends, making great efforts to do so in her final months. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, JoAnn (Franssens) Martin; her maternal grandfather, Robert (Bun) Martin and her maternal aunt, PattyJo (Martin) Bautch. She is survived by her husband, Andrew E. Licata, and beloved canine friend, Romeo, of Somerset; her parents, CharLeen and David Johnson, Clear Lake; her identical twin sister, Adele (Dee) Martin, and niece, CaraLyn Martin-Senn of La Crosse; her sister, LeeAnn Johnson, Apple Valley, Minn.; her uncle, David Bautch; and cousin, Donna Mae Bautch, of Lake City, Minn. She is also survived by nieces and nephew Beka, Megan, Joey, Tia and Cassidy, and very special honorary sisters: Jenny Hall, Pine City, Minn.; Sally Dittloff, Rice Lake; Lynnette Emmanual, Rice Lake; Amanda Frelke, Darien; Laurie Gargulak, Rice Lake; Cheryl Groat, Minong; Leila Jenkins, Shell Lake; Jean Martin, Longwood, Fla.; Karla Mortensen, Ames, Iowa; Jenn Roos, Fergus Falls, Minn.; Valerie Vee, Andover, Minn.; and Honorary Mum, Linda Pfaff, La Crosse. She is survived by many more aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Funeral Mass was held on Saturday, Sept. 21. Taylor Family Funeral Home, Spooner, was entrusted with arrangements.

Spooner Area Schools PTO to sponsor crazy run SPOONER — On Friday, Sept. 27, every student in Spooner will have the opportunity to participate in an event to help raise money for Spooner Elementary School.

Barronett

by Judy Pieper

This has been such a busy weekend that I hardly know where to start. OK, let’s see here. The spaghetti supper, cooked and served by the Barronett Civic Club master chefs, was very tasty. This year, in addition to the regular spaghetti sauce, they had also prepared an Alfredo sauce and had extra peppers and onions cooking in a slow cooker on the counter so that those of us who wished to do so could add them to our meal. There was even at least one celebrity at the meal. Dr. Dan from WGMO in Shell Lake was there enjoying the spaghetti with some of his friends from Barronett. Quite a few civic club members told me how much they appreciated the fact that Dr. Dan mentioned our little town festival so often on his program. We hope he’ll be back again next year, After the meal, Nick Jerry treated a quite a few guests to a hayride around the area. There were also Bingo games and a bonfire in the backyard of the community center. Bright and early Saturday morning the women of Barronett Lutheran were at the community center to set up the pie and icecream booth. We started out with 40 pies, and came close to running out by Saturday evening. Luckily, there were a few women who hadn’t brought their pies in yet, and so Sunday morning we had about 10 more to sell. Those didn’t last long either, and by Sunday afternoon we were down to about 10 pieces of pie. Luckily Devon Snowbank came up with the ingenious idea of taking them outside and selling them for little or nothing, and they all went. The ladies were able to get everything cleaned up and taken back to the church in record time. I’m not going to mention all the women who helped out because it’s really a group effort, but we all want to send out a special thanks to Geri Pittman who organized it. Oh, I guess I shouldn’t say just the “women of the church.” We had two men who volunteered their time this year, too. Leroy Orth and Mel Pittman took a twohour shift at the booth. I noticed, though, that most of their time was spent on the chairs observing the crowd. Just kidding guys. We appreciate the fact that you took time out of your busy day to help us out. There were lots of craft and produce booths set up in the community center and outside. Pastor Jon Simundson was there with his birdhouses, walking sticks and novelty items. It was so nice to visit with him. There was just about any kind of produce anyone could possibly want, jewelry, knitted and crocheted items, antiques and

ever, very pretty. We have some sad people here too as the Packers lost on Sunday. You can’t win them all.

The men’s brick bounce was won by Mark Minton, and the boys brick bounce was won by Tristan Neitzel. The women’s brick bounce was won by Amber Dom, and the girls brick bounce was won by Alley Zarr. The winner of the men’s keg toss was Bo Juleft, and the winner of the boys keg toss was Tristan Neitzel. The winner of the women’s keg toss was Missy Jerry. The wine and cheese tasting event, sponsored by Bistro 63, Norseland Foods and the 20 Mile General Store was, once again this year, a big hit. There was a huge variety of wine and cheese to sample, and everyone seemed to find something they couldn’t live without. After Sunday dinner, which was prepared and served by our very talented Barronett chefs, we all enjoyed live music by Bob Knowlton. We were glad to see Bob back at the Colorfest playing the country music we enjoy. Before drawing for raffle prizes, Cheryl Jaastad said that she wanted to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the 27th-annual Barronett Colorfest such a huge success. It takes a lot of planning and hard work to get everything together and running smoothly, and the civic club members all go above and beyond the call of duty to see to it that everyone has a good time. I’m sure it would be a lot easier if we lived in a large community and had more volunteers, but, thankfully, the same people come back year after year and work their fingers to the bone for the weekend. We all know that Cheryl works all year on the planning part of it. I’ll bet she’s already planning for next year. Everyone in Barronett and our guests really appreciate all you do. Anitia Lehmann gave me a letter and obituary she received in the mail from Mary Peterson. Merrill passed away on Aug. 21. Merrill was born and raised in this area. and I’m sure most of the oldtimers remember him fondly. He and Mary were back to visit last year and spent a lot of time with Don and Anitia during that visit. Merrill suffered a heart attack on Aug. 13 and even though the man with him performed CPR, he never regained consciousness. He had been active right up to that point, planning projects for the community and his family. He had a very happy life with a loving family and many good friends. He will be missed by all who knew him. Please keep Merrill’s family in your prayers.

Going to Canada last week to fish was John and Mary Marschall, Dennis Marschall, his two brothers-in-law, Gary Erickson, Daryl and Kokie. It was cold up there, but fishing was good. Sunday night dinner guests were Sara and Kyle Matheson and Brian. Norman and Donna Ness just returned from a trip to Alaska and said it was a very good trip, beautiful mountains and scenery. Margaret Jones and Louise Schade were in Shell Lake and Spooner visiting relatives. The Mortensen girls served a really great brunch after church at Salem on Sunday. Our new pastor, Susan Odegard, was installed at 9 a.m. services Sunday. A mem-

ber of our synod was here to perform the Rite of Installation. Arlys Santiago golfed at Butternut Hills on Sunday afternoon with two friends, Kathy Krause and Sheila Bergren. On Saturday night, Arlys and Jan Ogden attended the concert at the Shell Lake Arts Center by Matthew Perryman Jones, a Nashville singer and songwriter. President Obama honored the 12 victims in the shooting at the Navy base in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. Flags have been flying at half-staff in their memory. A group from Glenview went on a trip to have lunch at Tony’s in Spooner last Tuesday. Very good food and a nice ride. CH--CH means nothing unless UR in it. Have a good week!

bouncing all weekend. The fish boil and backyard music, featuring Paisan, at the Bistro on Saturday evening was a huge hit. Those of us who live in Barronett were doubly lucky because we were treated to a free concert. It was an outdoor concert, you understand, so we could hear it from the comfort of our own homes, too. Actually, I did go over to the Bistro and the crowd was having a wonderful time. Jeno had a bonfire in the backyard, which went over well on such a chilly night. This wasn’t part of the Colorfest, but the residents of Cumberland ECU were at a concert on Saturday evening, too. The Northern Lights Marching Classic, a marching band competition, was held at Endeavor Stadium on Saturday evening at 6:30. There were nine bands competing in three different classes, and the UWEC Bluegolds performed at the end of the evening. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to be a judge for that competition. The bands were all so good and the routines were intricate and performed beautifully. It was a little chilly though, so we took the residents back as soon as the performance was done, so we didn’t stay for the awards. From what I understand, Cumberland took first place in all categories for their class. Congratulations! The residents who attended were Jeanne, John, Eleanor, Joyce, Violet, Betty, Carol, Pearl, Elsie, Yvonne, George, Marie, Ella, Angie, Willard, Dorothy W., Ray, Abner, Alice, Ethel and LaVonne. They were all bundled up in nice warm clothes, and they all seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. OK, let’s see now, Barronett Lutheran held the worship service at the community center on Sunday morning. Pastor Todd gave a very interesting sermon, which included a lot of history about Barronett. We had a quite a few guests from out of town, which was very nice. Geri Pittman played the old familiar hymns for us, and the service was very nice. After the service we sat around drinking coffee, eating Cheryl Jaastad’s homemade caramel rolls, and visited. Dorothy Orth, Devon Snowbank, and Terry Goodrich judged the cooking contest. The required ingredient was peaches and the winners were, first: Sharai Hefty with peach bundt cakes; second: Bob Washkuhn with peach bread; and third: Kim Hermida with a slow cooker peach pie. There were five entries this year. Hopefully next year we can get at least five times that many.

A beautiful day in Shell Lake on Monday as I write this, but it is cold and a little windy. Like the song “September” the falling leaves remind us it is fall. It is, how-

collectibles — everything. And there were lots of buyers, too. I think that everyone who had booths set up had a pretty good day. The 5.4-mile fun run was won by Nick Ricci, with David Nickell taking second place. Oh, and I guess I should mention that David’s dog, Marley, came in a few steps in front of David. I think that maybe Nick is an old hand at this racing stuff. He took third in the triathlon in Luck recently. It was a hiking, running and canoeing competition. His bike broke down during the race, and he still took third. Not bad. Congratulations on your win, Nick. The men’s slow-pitch softball tournament started early on Saturday and ran through Sunday. There were two firstplace winners of that tournament this year, Diesterhaft’s and Spot Bar. Diesterhaft’s team members told me that they were really the winners because they had scored more runs than Spot Bar had, but we’ll just have to let them fight that out next year. Thanks go out to Jim Dreyer, too, for all the work he does in organizing the softball tournament every year. By the way, Jim Dreyer said that he’s sure that the reason his team, Spot Bar, did so well is that his daughter, Taylor, made him two good-luck posters. There was a 20-year reunion on the ball field this year. Bob Bartschenfeld, Jim Grosskreutz and Jim Dreyer hadn’t played on the same field for 20 years, and they were all playing at Barronett this year. It was nice to see the competition between the friends. There were lots of entries in the Dairyland garden tractor pull. I didn’t get the names of the winners for that yet, but I’m hoping that Rambo will have them to me by next week. The beanbag tournament started Saturday afternoon and ended on Sunday afternoon. It’s amazing how accurate some of those people are at throwing beanbags. I watched one man put three out of four bags into the target, and the other bag was on the board. There were 14 teams, and the winners were, first: Logan Paulson and Gary Judahl; second: Luke Paulson and Kyle Steffen; and third: Jim Dreyer and Bo Juleft. While all this stuff was going on, there were lots of games for the little ones in the backyard. One of the favorite things this weekend was the big bouncy tent. There were little ones in there sliding around and
